The objectives of the campaign include elimination of open defection, conversion of insanitary toilets to pour flush toilets, eradication of manual scavenging and above all to bring about a behavioral change in people regarding healthy sanitation practices and to ensure public participation in achieving these objectives. Globally, India continues to be the country with highest number of people practicing open defection. If Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) is implemented properly with all its stakeholders taking their respective responsibilities, there is no wonder that one day India will become an open defection free country. A brief about this programme, objectives & components of funds allocation in various years in different activities and outcomes of Comptroller and Auditor General's report has been discussed in this paper. The result found in Joint field visit of CAG regarding non-avaibility of water connection and soak pit in 41 villages and 15 out 30 villages were not using toilets due to incomplete construction. Gujarat State has been declared Open defecation free in 2016-2017 by Hon. President of India.In this paper researcher will review Financial aspect of Swachh Bharat Mission-G of last five years i.e. 2014 to 2019 and Findings of Field visit reports of CAG with reference to proper utilization of funds and its effectiveness of Programme.

It would not be incorrect to articulate that it barely describes the sanitary conditions as they acquire in the rural India. The majority of the citizens still defecate in the open space, the majority of the villages lack waste management and sewage systems and many in the villages are unaware about the outcomes of poor sanitation and insanitary conditions. As a result, many people suffer and even die of diseases caused by harmful practices of personal and ecological hygiene. Rural sanitation numbers significantly in the National Agenda for supremacy. At present the degree of hygiene coverage in India is around 98 percent of all rural households as per Government portal data. The nonexistence of secure sanitation contributes considerably to the poor quality of life as reflected by well accepted perametres like Infant mortality and morbidity rates. Rural sanitation is a National subject. The central governments execute the rural sanitation programme under various policies. The central government supporting their efforts to providing monitory and scientific assistance through the centrally sponsored Rural Sanitation Programme (CRSP). In this paper researcher will review various Government programmes for promoting safe and sustainable sanitation to rural India & This paper specifically deals with the various guidelines of Government of India.

These emergent structures evolved hand in hand with neural, hormonal, cellular, and genetic mechanisms to support them because the consequent social behaviors helped these organisms survive, reproduce, and care for offspring sufficiently long that they too reproduced. Social neuroscience seeks to specify the neural, hormonal, cellular, and genetic mechanisms underlying social behavior, and in so doing to understand the associations and influences between social and biological levels of organization. Success in the field, therefore, is not measured in terms of the contributions to social psychology per se, but rather in terms of the specification of the biological mechanisms underlying social interactions and behavior-one of the major problems for the neurosciences to address in the 21st century.

They rank fifth as a cause of perinatal mortality, after asphyxia, respiratory problems, infections and cerebral trauma. However, the pattern is changing rapidly with improvement in health care and living standards.

wisdom," is a discipline that seeks to understand the fundamental truths about
ourselves, the world we live in, and our relationships to the world and each
other. Philosophy's role in academic research is pivotal, providing the tools for
critical thinking, rigorous analysis, and ethical reasoning. In the context of a Ph.D.
program, philosophy is more than just an academic requirement; it is a
framework that shapes the entire research journey. It fosters intellectual
curiosity, challenges assumptions, and promotes a holistic understanding of knowledge. This article explores the historical evolution of philosophy, its modern interpretations, and its indispensable role in the pursuit of a Doctor of Philosophy degree
